24 August 2024 Toronto: South Humber Park

 


We took a day off yesterday so today we took a loop through South Humber Park and then back home through a neighborhood.  The river was busy with power boats, stand up paddle boats and canoes.  We decided to take an afternoon and float this river.  Lots of reed banks along the  river's edge but no birds of note.  The temperature has been ideal, mid 70's and sunny except for a few days of rain.  This is the sweet spot for us, walking about with shorts and not sweating.
